Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Standing atop the fiery flower bud, Emperor Tuoshegu looked at the young man before him. No matter how amazing his experiences were, he was still somewhat surprised at this moment.

With a wave of his hand, a fiery flower bud appeared beneath Lin Feng, and he sat down as well.

"You lot, come out here too!"

After Lin Feng sat down, Emperor Tuoshe waved his hand again, and several flame buds reappeared. At the same time, the Pure Lotus Demon Saint and others appeared in Lin Feng's mind.

"My name is Jinglian!"

"I am Huang Quan!"

"Splash!"

"Greetings, Ancient Emperor!"

The moment they appeared, they bowed respectfully to Emperor Tuoshegu, and at the same time, an indescribable feeling arose in their hearts.

After all, this was their lifelong pursuit!

With the source energy of the Bodhi Ancient Tree present, the group had little doubt about whether Lin Feng would become an emperor. However, they were not sure if they would have enough time to deal with the threat from the extraterrestrial evil race.

"Two remnant souls who reached the level of Half-Emperor in their lifetimes, and even attempted to break through to the Dou Di realm, plus a rare treasure like the Bodhi Ancient Tree—young friend Lin Feng, your luck is truly remarkable!"

"Oh, I never imagined that besides this place, there were other places in this world where Origin Qi still exists? The world is truly full of wonders!"

Just then, Tuoshegudi suddenly exclaimed in surprise, his gaze towards the Bodhi tree filled with astonishment.

"I was initially hesitant, but now that young friend Lin Feng already possesses Origin Qi, I will entrust the Origin Qi here to that little fellow outside!"

"What do you mean, senpai?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng couldn't help but ask, "Judging from what Emperor Tuoshe meant, is he not going to give him the inheritance?"

Do you know my origins?

As he inquired, Emperor Tuoshe waved his hand, and Xiao Yan, who had returned to his residence, was immediately grabbed by an invisible and terrifying force, turning into a beam of light that shot straight toward the ten-thousand-foot-tall Dou Di statue!

"Brother Xiao Yan!"

Gu Xun'er, who had originally planned to pour out her heart to Xiao Yan, changed her expression upon seeing this scene and rushed out instantly.

"Boom boom boom"

"Xun'er, what happened?"

Xiao Yan's undisguised presence and the terrifying energy fluctuations from Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's attack naturally alerted Gu Yuan and the others. Seeing Xun'er's anxious expression, they quickly inquired.

"Father, for some reason, Brother Xiao Yan has been captured by a terrifying force and pulled into that ancient emperor statue!"

As for what the two were doing before, Gu Xun'er did not say it clearly.

"Have we entered the ancient emperor's statue?"

Upon hearing that the terrifying energy was not an attack by the extraterrestrial evil race or the Soul Race, Gu Yuan and the others breathed a slight sigh of relief, but were then shocked again.

"Could it be that Xiao Yan, this guy, can also obtain the inheritance of an ancient emperor?"

Lei Ying's loud voice seemed to convey everyone's doubts. However, once the matter involved the Dou Di, it was beyond the imagination of the saints.

The only thing we can hope for now is just as Lei Ying guessed!

"Senior Brother Lin Feng, where is this place?"

After the light faded, Xiao Yan's wary face was revealed. However, he relaxed the moment he saw Lin Feng, clearly feeling a strong sense of security from Lin Feng.

"Lucky little guy, you've arrived!"

Before Lin Feng could speak, an old and gentle voice attracted Xiao Yan's attention, and Xiao Yan, who was standing on the flame flower bud, was startled.

"Senior, could you be him?"

The old man's face was exactly the same as the towering ancient emperor statue outside. With Xiao Yan's wisdom, it was not difficult to guess his true identity.

"Hahaha, that's right, just as you guessed, the old man Tuoshegudi."

Upon seeing this junior brother with whom he shared a similar destiny, Tuoshegudi also felt a strange joy.

"Tens of thousands of years later, to encounter another practitioner of the Burning Technique, who has come before me, it seems we are destined to meet!"

"Senior Brother Lin Feng?"

Hit by this tremendous opportunity, Xiao Yan felt a little dizzy. However, he immediately realized that the opportunity of inheriting the Dou Di's legacy belonged to Lin Feng.

If we give it to him, then what about Senior Brother Lin Feng?

"Haha, I didn't expect you two to have such a good relationship. Don't worry, Lin Feng will naturally have his share of opportunities!"

Xiao Yan's ability to remain calm in the face of the Dou Di opportunity was admired even by the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe. With a wave of his hand, a dazzling and colorful lotus of flames entered Lin Feng's body.

"Lin Feng, this is the purest essence of heaven and earth energy left behind by me. Refine it, and you'll easily reach the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm!"

"If you have enough talent, you might even have a chance to touch the realm of a demigod!"

Before Lin Feng could even thank him, Emperor Tuoshe waved his hand again, and Lin Feng and the others were thrown out of the sea of ​​inheritance fire!

"Senior Brother Lin Feng!?"

"No need to worry, I have something important to tell you next."

Outside the towering stone statue, Lin Feng landed steadily, while the Pure Lotus Demon Saint and the others returned to Lin Feng's soul sea to refine something. Clearly, the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe had also given them some benefits.

"So, in my case, the original wife has been replaced by the mistress? No, if we look at the relationship in the Burning Technique, it seems like I'm the mistress, but it seems like I was here first!?"

Lin Feng looked up at the face of the towering stone statue, somewhat bewildered.

"Lin Feng, have you already received the inheritance of Emperor Tuoshe?"

Lin Feng's appearance immediately alerted Gu Yuan and the others, and Zhu Kun couldn't contain his joy the moment he saw him.

"Emperor Tuoshe has chosen Xiao Yan!"

Seeing the expectant expressions on everyone's faces, Lin Feng spoke the truth, which made Zhu Kun feel disappointed.

"That five-star Dou Sheng kid? Even if he manages to obtain the inheritance of that old guy Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, with his current level, when will he ever break through to Dou Di?"

"The extraterrestrial demons won't give us that time!"

Upon hearing Zhu Kun's words, the crowd, who hadn't felt much before, immediately became serious. Even Gu Yuan and Gu Xun'er remained silent in their rebuttal.

Yes, even with the inheritance of the Dou Di, it would take a long time to go from a five-star Dou Sheng to a Dou Di. Is there enough time?

"In that case, we must seize every moment!"

"Oh?"

"I've already refined the Heavenly Tomb. If I send this ancient emperor statue into the Heavenly Tomb, I'll have five times the time; perhaps it will be in time!"

At this point, Lin Feng expressed a slight apology to everyone, after all, this Heavenly Tomb is shared by many imperial clans and is guarded by the ancient clans.

Now it has been taken by someone who is not from the imperial family, which is somewhat unfair. However, if it happened again, Lin Feng would do the same.

The Soul of the Heavenly Tomb is the fastest way to achieve the Emperor Realm Soul, and Lin Feng would never give it up just because of a little bit of benevolence and morality.

"We've had the Heavenly Tomb for a long time, and naturally we've tried to refine it, but no one has succeeded. Now that you've obtained it, it's a good use of it!"

Knowing there was no way to salvage the situation, Gu Yuanyan and the others exchanged glances and decided not to pursue the matter further.

"Thank you. Lin Feng promises that if the crisis of the extraterrestrial evil race is resolved, the Heavenly Tomb will still be opened according to the usual rules, and the opportunity for future generations will not be cut off!"

"good!"

They originally thought they would lose the Heavenly Tomb, a supreme treasure of the Dou Di, but hearing Lin Feng's words now gave them a feeling of having regained what they had lost!

"boom"

Seeing everyone nod, Lin Feng didn't say anything more. At this moment, time was everything. With a wave of his hand, a thousand-foot spatial rift appeared before everyone's eyes.

Like a snake swallowing an elephant, it absorbed the colossal ancient emperor statue, and then Lin Feng flung out a jade slip.

"Everyone, if anything goes wrong, immediately crush the jade slip, and I will emerge from seclusion!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure instantly transformed into a stream of light and shot into the spatial rift, leaving only Gu Yuan and the others with expectant expressions in the original spot.

"Lin Feng, what's going on?"

On the third level of the Heavenly Tomb, near Xiao Xuan's tomb, Xiao Xuan looked at Lin Feng with a puzzled expression.

If he remembered correctly, it had been less than a month since Lin Feng last went out, right?

"Senior Xiao Xuan, there is hope for your resurrection!"

Upon seeing Xiao Xuan, Lin Feng immediately offered his congratulations without hesitation, then nodded towards Blood Blade, who seemed to be practicing some kind of cultivation according to Xiao Xuan's instructions, in the distance.

"Um, let's put that aside for now. What exactly is this ten-thousand-foot-tall stone statue?"

Xiao Xuan was already used to Lin Feng's abstract style, so he turned to look at the towering stone statue, his solemn expression carrying a hint of barely concealed anticipation.

"Could this be?"

"That's right, this is the legacy of Emperor Nathāgata!"

Lin Feng nodded in agreement, stepped to the foot of the stone statue, and turned to look at the two excited people.

"And at this moment, the one receiving the ancient emperor's inheritance inside is none other than Xiao Yan!"

"Xiao Yan!?"

Upon hearing that the one receiving the inheritance inside the stone statue was actually Xiao Yan, Xiao Xuan was somewhat shocked. Logically speaking, even if Gu Yuan and the others couldn't obtain it, there would still be Lin Feng and the others.

No matter what, it shouldn't be Xiao Yan's turn, right? Although he's still alive, he can't even leave the Heavenly Tomb. How could such a good thing possibly be Xiao Yan's turn?

"Senior Xiao Xuan, this is the legacy of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe. I also wish to obtain the Ancient Emperor's inheritance and ascend to the heavens in one step!"

Seeing the envy in Lin Feng's eyes, Xiao Xuan understood perfectly. The three prerequisites for becoming a Dou Di are: peak nine-star Dou Sheng, Emperor-level soul, and Origin Qi!

Lin Feng has already met the requirements for his soul, and even exceeded them. His realm has reached the peak of the Eight-Star Dou Sheng. In the face of the Dou Di inheritance, this is not something he needs to consider at all.

"Hahaha, Lin Feng, your talent far surpasses mine. Even without this Dou Di inheritance, with the existence of Origin Qi, you will one day become an Emperor on your own!"

Xiao Yan's ascension to the throne signifies the revival of the depleted bloodline power of the Xiao clan, and the reappearance of the Xiao clan's name in the world. This is a great comfort to Xiao Xuan, who once used all the bloodline power of the Xiao clan to break through to the Dou Di realm.

Furthermore, after Xiao Yan becomes an emperor, there is a very high chance that he will be rescued from this hellish place, the Heavenly Tomb, and truly resurrected!

Although Lin Feng has become the master of the Heavenly Tomb, the rules set by the Dou Di are clearly not something he can change now!

"Xiao Yan is currently at the five-star Dou Sheng realm. Even with the empowerment of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe, it will probably still take him quite some time!"

"The Demon Lord of the Extraterrestrial Evil Clan has been in seclusion for a long time, aiming to break through to the realm of the Demon Emperor—a terrifying demon comparable to a Dou Di!"

"Now, all we can do is hope that we can get there first!"

Without delay, Lin Feng set up the Five Elements Life and Death Refining Heaven Array, intending to use the power of the Five Elements Battle Saint to quickly refine the Flame Lotus given by the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe.

If he can reach the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm as soon as possible, or even the Half-Emperor realm, then he can directly use the source energy left by the Bodhi Ancient Tree to try to break through!

If all goes well, he might become the first Dou Di in the Dou Qi Continent after Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, even before Xiao Yan!

Outside, three months had passed in the blink of an eye, and the Dou Qi Continent appeared calm on the surface!

Beneath this calm, however, many undercurrents were surging. The extraterrestrial evil race, which had once frantically devoured the creatures of the Dou Qi Continent, seemed to have completely disappeared.

Even the demonic energy that once enveloped the Abyss of Demons has vanished. If it weren't for the traces left by the extraterrestrial evil race that once ravaged the land, one would really doubt whether the extraterrestrial evil race had ever truly descended upon the world.

The movements of the Soul Clan are also puzzling. Ever since the Soul Emperor was severely injured by Lin Feng's terrifying soul attack and Zhu Kun's full-force strike inside the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave, the Soul Realm has completely severed its connection with the Dou Qi Continent.

Even when Zhu Kun, the number one person in the Dou Qi Continent, personally took action, wielding the Ancient Emperor Mirror borrowed by Gu Yuan, he still failed to detect any trace of the Soul Realm!

However, half a month ago, a terrifying wave suddenly erupted from the endless ocean of the Dou Qi Continent, with a power that was enough to threaten a nine-star Dou Sheng!

When Zhu Kun and the others arrived, they found no trace of them. Clearly, although the Soul Clan had rioted for some unknown reason, it was quickly suppressed!

"Ahem, Gu Yuan, this is the whole story. I'm willing to surrender to you, as long as you spare my life!"

In a certain space outside Zhongzhou Shengdan City, a weak voice entered Gu Yuan's ears, causing his expression to change.

"This is... the Void Devouring Flame?"

"Brother Gu Yuan, what is this?"

Inside the council hall, Gu Yuan and the others were discussing the situation when they saw Gu Yuan's inexplicable expression and couldn't help but ask him a question.

"Brother Yan, this is incredible news!"

Seeing the confusion in everyone's eyes, Gu Yuan suddenly burst into a hearty laugh. Without answering Yan Jin and the others, he strode out of the main hall.

"Let's go, let's go, today we're going to greet a special guest!"

Behind them, Yan Jinlei, Ying, and the others stood up, exchanged glances, and none of them understood who this special guest Gu Yuan was referring to was.

"Void Devouring Flame!?"

A few breaths later, Yan Jin and the others saw a being emanating terrifying, devouring black flames in the void outside Saint Pill City, and they couldn't help but exclaim in shock.

The Void Devouring Flame looked utterly pathetic at that moment. The terrifying black flames were not a manifestation of its power, but rather an uncontrollable leak of its origin.

If there is no way to save it, its vast origin will probably return to the world in just a few months, and eventually, these origins will turn into another void-devouring flame.

In short, he's going to die!
